Arsenal forward could leave in summer, says Morana

Forgotten Gunner Park Chu-Young could consider his Arsenal future this summer after failing to establish himself at the Emirates, according to his agent.

The 26-year-old striker, who signed for Arsenal in a £3 million deal from Monaco in the summer, has struggled to gain regular first-team opportunities since his arrival.

The South Korean has made just five appearances for Arsene Wenger’s side, scoring one goal in the process, and has fallen further down the pecking order since the return of Thierry Henry to the club in January.

‘In the English media, it was reported that Arsenal had rejected a loan offer for Park.

‘However, this was in contrast to what we heard from Arsenal. There was no loan offer during the transfer window.’

I honestly don’t know what to make of Park. I wasn’t exactly excited when he was announced as an Arsenal player, as I pretty much knew it was more of a marketing move from us rather than one which would’ve bolstered our attack.

If he is not going to be used, which I think looks highly likely, then perhaps its best for both club and player to part ways at the end of the season. Besides, he has to undergo two years military service before the age of 28, which doesn’t leave him a lot of time at the club anyway.
